Quito, Ecuador. Last week members of our team gathered with Success Ambassadors from around the world for the second annual Interweave Convention. There were about 30 Success Ambassadors representing Colombia, Chile, Turkey, Ecuador and the Unites States. Through bonding activities and training workshops, Interweave partners were able to grow together and really come to appreciate each others’ efforts and sacrifices.

“We really grew to feel like a family. We played games together, learned together, ate together, cried together. We supported one another… [and] heard inspirational testimonies of how the MBS has affected lives.” – Audrey Burton, Director of Operations

“What we have here is an incredibly beneficial cause for human beings. We have created a beautiful monster that is going to change the world.” – Mao Gomez, Success Ambassador

“I am amazed. Honestly, I have been reminded this week that we must strive for success, without limits.” – Gisele, Special Guest

Lomé, Togo. Success Ambassadors in Benin have been training a man in the MBS course from the neighboring country of Togo. Now this participant has become a Success Ambassador himself and has started his own group. Here are some photos of the first MBS group in Togo!

Hernan is 74 years old and he is an MBS student in Ecuador. He had never before used a computer but through the patient mentorship of his Success Ambassador, he has learned basic technology skills. His Ambassador reports that Hernan “is making a great effort to advance in the Success Platform. He is motivated and we support him so that he can advance his progress. Hernan is an example for us all!”

Hernan is one of many around the world who are learning to use this new program management system. At the beginning of 2019, we released this Success Platform to help us keep track of MBS groups and records in so many countries. As an organization we are always trying to improve, and even here in the central office we can improve our self-reliance. In the last two months we’ve had almost 20 groups registered, and continue to see more progress every day. We continue to encourage Ambassadors everywhere to register their groups online so we can see our progress as an International Family.

“My name is Gueisel and I am 40 years old. Mi story begins when my husband was diagnosed with cancer and it brought a lot of sadness. Because of this trial, however, I began to sell desserts and empanadas y it turned out to be very successful. I sold 400 empanadas in two days. I never expected to sell so much and that’s when I decided to create my own business.

“My friend Rocio invited me to take a course that would help me improve my business; it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. They taught me how to have a successful business. It was unforgettable and I learned that nothing could defeat me, not even the fear of moving forward. I made friends with the same abilities and capacities that I had. I am grateful for the MBS program for giving me this amazing experience.”

Luweero, Uganda. Margaret Nelson is a retired RN from Washington State. Throughout her career she gained experience in clinical and community health, working with refugees and low-income populations. These experiences prepared her to move to Africa after her retirement, where she served on short-term mission trips and worked in local health clinics. She decided she wanted to do more so she settled down in a small village in Uganda, started building herself a house and developing plans to make a difference in the lives of the people she was getting to know. She worked with a few different NGOs, including a few that she started on her own, but never found the success she was seeking.

After coming across Interweave’s MBS program, she decided that partnering her NGO with Interweave would help her make a real difference. She is currently taking the MBS course for herself while simultaneously facilitating a small group consisting of local church members. We love seeing people make their dreams a reality through Interweave’s programs!
